Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question it appears that (n-1) is in the numerator's place, if it is so, then let us solve it.

$a_n = - 2 + \frac{3}{2}(n - 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: a_{21} = - 2 + \frac{3}{2} (21 - 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: a_{21} = - 2 + \frac{3}{2 } \times \: 20\\ \\ \therefore \: a_{21} = - 2 + 3 \times \: 10 \\ \\ \therefore \: a_{21} = { -2 + 30} \\ \\ \therefore \: a_{21} = 28 \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: a_{21} = 28} } \\ \\$

Expression 3,
because 6 and 8 are factors of 48. Since positive 6 & 8 are the two numbers of choice, the product will be positive. My answer is reasonable because if you were to multiply positive 8 and 6 you will get positive 48.

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{T = - 7.5 \cos \frac{\pi}{12}( t - 4 )+ 10.5}$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

Given value:

Temp-maximum= $18^{\circ}$

Temp. minimum = $3^{\circ}$

It is halfway between 10 am and 10 pm to 4 am.

The sinus and cosine roles could be used throughout the year to predict fluctuations in climate models. Its type of formula that can be used to model such information is:

$T = A \cos B(t-C) + D,$ where parameters are A, B , C, D, T is the ° C temperature and t is the time (1-24)
